Rd Cab Replacement

[kk diesel repair]

I am going to replace the cab on our 1993 RD690. Can anyone tell me if I am limited to that cab or would a different style or year cab fit without major modifications?

Thanks, Brad

Brad, the 73 and up model years are pretty much the same with the exception on minor holes in the firewall. Of course the DM, and U series cabs are different due to being offset 11 inches to the left, (driver's side) and the underside bracing and floorpan/firwall are different to facilitate this.

I've switched several through the years and it is not a big job to install a 1973 cab onto a 1994 chassis, (or anything in between) using all the original parts from the 1994 cab. Minor welding and fabrication is all that is needed.
